Open Streets Jamaica Plain

The Open Streets Series is a car-free event series that transforms roadways into vibrant, pedestrian-only public spaces during the summer and fall. Now in its fifth year, Open Streets will be along Centre Street from Lamartine Street to Lochstead Avenue.

Open Streets programming varies by neighborhood, but all Open Streets events will feature food trucks, face painting, balloon animals, crafts, interactive games, photo installations, and exclusive performances.

Anyone interested in volunteering can sign up or learn how to get involved by visiting the Open Streets webpage. For programming and dates, see the Open Streets 2026 series.

All events take place from 10:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Streets will be closed to vehicular traffic from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Parking is prohibited along the route from 6:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
